Sneaking in VeggiesWhen I was in Weight Watchers, many moons ago, I discovered that I didn’t like vegetables (I’m a little better now.) I started putting them in pasta or having a salad at lunch and dinner (it’s supposed to cut down on what you eat during dinner.) Also, if you want, I can share with you the a really good garlic braised broccoli recipe from my favorite Vegan cookbook, The Voluptuous Vegan. Speaking of vegan cookbooks, they help make vegetables a lot more interesting than the boiled madness of our past. I have used this particular one hundreds of time to spice up a meal. The Rachel Ray vegetarian one is pretty good. I made an excellent eggplant curry from there.
Too much fiber?
Make sure to drink lots of water, especially at your high fiber meal. I had nearly 28 grams of fiber by lunch time between my high fiber Trader Joe’s cereal and my Amy’s soup with 9 grams of fiber per serving!
This article by the NIH is pretty interesting. Peeling decreases your fiber while cooking increases it (which makes sense for food like Spinach.)
